The Importance and Perils of Social Capital in Innovation EcosystemsInnovation ecosystems, such as incubators and accelerators, offer their members a “critical mass” of social capital including potential collaborators, vendors, and customers. Social capital is crucial to startup’s survival, but startups that do not engage an ecosystem’s social capital would be better off not being in the ecosystem at all. Once the startup realizes revenue, achieving profit will require converting the tacit knowledge of social capital into explicit knowledge, such as standard operating procedures. We illustrate these dynamics, and how the entrepreneur can navigate from startup inception to growth. In this workshop, you will learn about:
